Meatless Monday

I've almost missed posting, but this is Monday, and I've a yoga class to attend after work. Things tend to run very late!

And I didn't cook again tonight. No, this time, I picked up a (not so vegan!) meatless meal in a hurry - but very tasty indeed:I adore cottage cheese (there's even a photo of me at my first birthday with it all over my face and in my blonde ringlet-ed hair, so you can tell it's a long-lived affair!), and tonight when I saw strawberries and pineapple all ready and waiting, I just couldn't resist. I added a bit of baguette with seasoned olive oil, and thoroughly enjoyed my very simple meal.

But oh, for next week? I've got something planned! I'll make it over the weekend so it will be ready and waiting after yoga class, and I promise I'll post earlier, too! *wink*

I did a little bit of veggie shopping this weekend...a fellow yoga student is a potter and she was having a sale of her wares. I picked up the eggplant salt and pepper shakes, and the little garlic head shaker was just sitting there all by itself. I thought, "why not for garlic powder?" and it came right along home with me! I love that her attention to detail even included the little rootlets at the base, tho' this photo doesn't show that well...The three will reside on my stovetop and work in nicely with my vintage vegetable pottery collection - Shawnee King Cornware, and Made in Occupied Japan Tomato-ware, plus an odd assortment of peppers, squashes, celery, and beets (ALL ceramic salt and pepper shakes).

What can I say? I'm just a pushover for veggies and fruit in all forms. This purchase supported a local artist, too. :)

About Me

I'm a young Nana to 5 grandchildren, mom to a DD, and I'm owned by my cats: two very special rescued kitties, a Tonkinese, and a newly whole Himalayan. They're known here as The Tonk, and Moji, which is Hindi for Sock (too appropriate, right?). I'm the cat mom as well, to the late Meezer who helped me start this blog and whose spirit lives on in our home. Sewing is my business, knitting is my passion, tho' right now I'm a bit slow at it thanks to an arthritic thumb! I'm learning to be a passionate paper fanatic, an art journaling, paper planner/traveler's notebook nut. Please visit my shop at http://nanasadierose.etsy.com and be sure to visit both of my other blogs: Knitnana for knitterly happenings and Nana Sadie's Place for miscellaneous musings including reflections on my multiple interests and current fascinations.
